[03:34:37] <Bytram> hey gang... hope someone can take it from here... cannot keep my eyes open and I have an early shift tomorrow.
[03:34:40] <Bytram> laters!
[03:49:23] <takyon> i subbed a pretty long BFR announcement submission
[03:50:10] <takyon> since then, I've learned that Maezawa was in fact one of the two planned Falcon Heavy passengers from before (other was an invited guest)
[03:50:26] <chromas> So it needs additions?
[03:50:44] <takyon> shit I could write a whole new paragraph if I included the talk about Falcon Heavy only comfortably fitting 2 people
[03:51:15] <takyon> I can make the additions whenever
[03:54:57] <chromas> k. I'll pop() it in the queueueueue
[03:55:18] * chromas considers merging it with rDT's sub :D
[03:55:32] <takyon> you can if you want
[03:55:41] <takyon> just make it "Also at Fox News" at the end
[03:55:51] * chromas fox nods
[03:58:41] <takyon> Maezawa was in fact one of the two previously announced customers for a Falcon Heavy ride around the Moon. SpaceX currently has no plans to human-rate the Falcon Heavy. The switch from Falcon Heavy to BFR will substantially increase the maximum number of passengers and comfort level attainable on a nearly week-long mission, since Crew Dragon 2 has a pressurized volume of just 10 cubic meters.
[04:00:03] <chromas> Saved
[04:01:09] <chromas> I forgot to copy your title before the merge, so it could be different from what you had
[04:02:47] <takyon> i'm fixing it up
[04:03:01] <takyon> and keeping that title since mine was weird
[04:03:48] <chromas> Mildly off-topic, your Title Case function's pretty nigty
[04:03:52] <chromas> s/g/f/
[04:03:54] <exec> <chromas> Mildly off-topic, your Title Case function's pretty nifty
[04:04:19] <chromas> It does capitalize letters after semicolons though
[04:04:38] <chromas> like in the rare case of an xml entity for apostrophe
[04:06:10] <takyon> well, i've altered it over the years
[04:06:32] <takyon> I don't think titles are supposed to contain special characters?
[04:06:49] <takyon> and it is supposed to replace fancy apostrophes with '
[04:07:37] <chromas> I've seen &#39; sometimes
[04:08:29] <takyon> probably from bot subs
[04:08:33] <takyon> or MrPlow
[04:08:52] <chromas> Yeah. /me adjusts his bot
[04:10:14] <takyon> time to use the term "cislunar"
[04:10:50] <chromas> lololol
[04:11:08] <chromas> ooh, it's real
[04:11:56] <takyon> it's also kinda unnecessary
[04:12:14] <takyon> how else are you going to get from the Earth to the Moon? Wormhole?
[04:23:23] <takyon> updated
[04:24:23] <takyon> and updated again
[04:25:52] <takyon> and gave it a better headline
[04:26:56] <chromas> Wait, so cislunar is between earth and moon, and translunar is moving between? Does that mean cisgender people are between genders and trannies are crossing us?
[04:27:20] <takyon> no comment
[04:27:40] <takyon> ...what about trans-lunar injection?
[04:28:34] <chromas> I think that's called a moneyshot
